Storm Coordination Message #1 – Weekend Major Winter Storm Potential
Hello to all..
..Uncertainty remains over the potential for a weekend major winter storm over portions of Southern New England. The greatest risk for potential Heavy Snow, Strong to Damaging Winds and Coastal Flooding is over southern portions of Southern New England including most of Rhode Island and Southeast Massachusetts with the Boston area on the northern fringe of significant impacts as well as areas such as the Hartford Connecticut area. As is typically the case with intense, major winter storms, there will be a sharp cutoff in the northern extent of significant winter weather..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are possible this weekend including the potential for overnight operations depending on the storm track. Additional coordination messages will have more info and clarity on the storm situation. The next coordination message will be posted either late Wednesday Evening or early Thursday Morning. Below is the NWS Taunton Area Forecast Discussion which had an excellent synopsis of the model uncertainty, Hazardous Weather Outlook and the NWS Taunton Facebook Infographics on the potential major winter storm..
